18. His Role in WW2
17. There Are Different Types of Kyptonite
While you may think of the stereotypical green, there are several different colored types of kryptonite that have been reported. The colors are green, red, gold, blue, black, white and pink and they all have different effects. Green is most known to cause nausea, weakness, pain and can sap any Kyptonian of their powers (no wonder Superman hates it). Red’s effects may be different depending on the person, but when shown in Smallville (the TV series) its effect was similar to inebriation/alcohol.
Gold kryptonite can mess up your day by removing your powers for a short amount of time. Something needs to knock Bizzaros down, so you have the blue kryptonite for that. There is also black kryptonite which splits you into two personalities (good and evil) and that can lead to a showdown (talk about epic). White kryptonite is deadly to plant life. And finally, pink kryptonite will turn you into a homosexual…seriously.
